<p>My technique is usually to expose myself to her. When she runs away screaming, she usually goes to her house. I follow her and write down the address, locate the number in the phone book, and leave messages like, "I know you are awake...I can see you," on her machine. Eventually, she will file a restraining order against me, and in court I will have an excuse to talk to her. That's when I make my move.</p>
<p>The AS1 Critique on Hobbes' Game Plan:</p>
<p>Never ask a girl for her number. No matter how much she's into you, women built in feelings about giving their phone numbers. There are no built in responces to email addresses. What you do is ask her if she has an email address or AIM screenname or MSN or whatever you use (if no, ask her if she's living in the stoneage or something like that!). While she's writing it down, say, "hey, write your number down while you're at it."</p>
<p>I don't always leave right away, but I'm the judge of if I should or not. Don't e-mail or call right away. Be ****y and funny in your email!</p>
<p>AIM, that's my plan B.</p>
<p>No. It's mine. You can't have it.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what was it in your post that was censored? ****y?</p>
<p>I like phone numbers better cause it's more personal. You can't really express emotion in an email unless you embellish it like a nerd or you add little emoticons :) ... like a nerd. Of course you should have the final say, no doubt about that. There is no single "game-plan" to follow. Adapt and be smooth.</p>
<p>I love (<3) nerds. </p>

<p>Emoticons are fun. This is what it looks like when you have mood swings: :) :( :) :( :) :( :( (oops I meant :) ) :(</p>
<p>But, alas! - Crayon, in today's world, there is no love for the nerd.</p>
<p>Oh, but there is.</p>
<p>I found the first week or so all the freshmen were very willing to give out numbers(99.999% of people use cell phones only) and the internet wasn't available yet on campus so if you wanted to find them at the next mixer, you had to pretty much get a number or just hope you would run into them.</p>
<p>On that subject, my friend has a bumpersticker that says "Talk nerdie to me." I found it kinda funny...though it distracted me when I was driving behind her.
As far as dating goes I am pretty much putting it off until college at this point. Every girl at my school seems to either be mentally unstable or downright mean to people. Which probably isnt a good sign when your class is comprised of 600+ people.</p>
<p>*nerdy (Damn you text limits)</p>
<p>aim: blocky and insert a c in place of the bl.</p>
<p>hobbes: no, you ask for her email address and then ask for her number because girls will give their email address more freely than they will their number. while they're in the middle of writing their email address, say "hey, you got a number too?"
More AS1 tips:
when you call a girl say something like "what are you doing RIGHT NOW? let's go right now to starbucks or whatever" don't be wussy and act like "oh i dunno, what do you want to do."
btw, coffee shops = awesome first date. plus, don't every pay for them on your first date.</p>
<p>TJ: remember, dating does NOT equal going out with or having as a girlfriend.</p>
<p>elizabeth and cash'd: i'm not a nerd (but i am one on the inside!) but I seriously love nerds. yes looks are important, but I can't stand idiots at all!</p>
<p>Yup, I figured it out. Now I'm going to go install a new **** in the bathroom. I'll then wax off the **** of my gun, and proceed to shoot down the **** waddling around in the backyard.</p>
<p>Dude, salient, it doesn't really matter. I like the straightforward approach you like the other clever approach. Aight? Aight.</p>
<p>It's not aight, Hobbes! IT IS NOT AIGHT!!$#@&<em>^</em>$#@</p>
<p>=]~</p>
<p>Uuuurrrgh! AS1-- Always pay for the first date, or you may not get a second one. You sure as heck wouldn't deserve a second one. But I'll agree with you about the coffee shop being ideal. A man bearing good coffee is the way to a girl's heart-- at least this girl's heart. Green tea will also do in a pinch.</p>
<p>And to the guy in high school-- It's so easy to meet girls in college, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Just make sure that you're ready to meet them- use this time to improve yourself so girls will want to date you. This is an important step that many guys miss. Also, ballroom dancing is a fool-proof sure-fire way to meet women, and learn a skill that will help you meet more women. Oh, and nerdy guys are the best :) </p>
<p>Ps. I have the bestest boyfriend in the whole wide world. Just wanted to share that! :D</p>
<p>The problem for me is that going to an all-boys school has limited my interactions with girls so much. I mean, it automatically takes out about 8 hours per day. I guess I haven't really had the same experiences as most people on CC have, b/c there hasn't been that interaction in high school which carries into college. It probably sounds stupid but I have no clue how you would meet girls in college? Like, from what I hear, classes in college are supposed to have 100+ students? How do you interact when that's the case?</p>
<p>I'm just confused, lol. Unfortunately.</p>
<p>cash'd: the same way you meet and interact with anyone else in college! On the way to class, in class, after class, in the library, in the sports fields, in the dinner hall... You can always talk about your classes with girls who are in them, that way you have something in common. It's easy, seriously.</p>
<p>cash'd-don't worry, i went to a small town public coed high school, and i don't know how to interact with guys (beyond the friend stage)...rest assured, you're not going to be the only freshman having problems...as for 'improving' yourself..well if you don't shower often or something disgusting like that, work on it, otherwise, just be yourself</p>
<p>Anglophile, thanks for catching that. Perhaps I wasn't clear. You (i'm going to use second person because it is easier, just make the "yous" "ones" and conjugate accordingly!) don't go on "dates" right away. You chill with the girl and take her to a coffee shop or whatever, but only as friends (at least untill you're out of the coffee shop! haha). In fact, an absolutely awesome line that gets women wondering is, when you meet them, "Yeah, you'd make a good friend."</p>
<p>Man, I could go on for hours!</p>
<p>Cash'd, IM me. I can tell you something really really interesting and it's probably something you'll really want to hear. (this goes for anyone else as well). My AIM sn is TheStonedPandas.</p>
<p>Lonely, eh?</p>
